At first glance the two pictures seem to be gorgeous anachronisms, full-color blasts from the black-and-white world of 1908, the year Ford introduced the Model T and Theodore Roosevelt was nearing the end of his second term.
But they are genuine products of their time, rare ones, among the few surviving masterpieces from the earliest days of color photography, made using a process developed by the Lumière brothers in France and imported to the United States by the photographer Edward Steichen a century ago this year. They were taken by Steichen, probably in Buffalo, and are thought to be portraits of Charlotte Spaulding, a friend and student who became his luminous subject for the portraits, which resemble pointillist miniatures on glass.

Sir James Jebusa Shannon (1)
American Academic Classical Painter, 1862-1923
Taylor Gallery, London :
"The son of Irish immigrants, Shannon was born in Auburn, New York. In 1870 he moved with his family to Saint Catherine's, Ontario where he displayed early artistic talent so much so that his father sent him to study art at the South Kensington school in London (now the Royal College of Art). There at the age of 18 he won the gold medal in the annual competition of all the art schools in the United Kingdom. He was immediately commissioned by Queen Victoria to paint the portraits of the Hon. Horatio Stopford and Mrs Henry Bourke (both now in the Royal Collection), which were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1881 and 1882 respectively. "(с)
+4[cut]
National Portrait Gallery, London, UK -5 portraits
Based on this early success he decided to stay in London where he became a noted society portrait artist. By 1892 he was so successful that he was able to purchase a substantial studio in Holland Park Road where on and off he spent the rest of his life. He was elected an associate of the London Academy of Arts in 1897.
In 1904 he went with his wife and daughter Kitty for the first of three extended stays in America. There he was very prolific and had three one-man exhibitions at M Knoedler and Co in New York in 1905, 1906 and 1907.
He was President of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1910 and in 1922 renounced his U.S. citizenship in order to accept the Knighthood that was given him in recognition of his talents as a portrait artist.
He died in 1923 at the age of 61. His work is represented in many major museums including the Metropolitan in New York.[/cut]

Edward Atkinson Hornel (5)
* не знаю,в чем проблема,но файлы очень тяжело грузятся :( сорри
In 1886 Hornel and Henry worked together in Kirkcudbright, where Hornel remained, avoiding the art establishment in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Hornel had seen the mosaic-like pictures of Monticelli at the 1886 Edinburgh International Exhibition and his own work was made up of flattened, decorative areas of colour, with little depth and no distant horizons. He painted figures, often in woods. In 1890 Henry and Hornel collaborated on The Druids, a painting in which the decorative elements of incised gesso and overlaid gold co-exist with Celtic mythology, which fascinated Hornel at this time. A further co-operative effort resulted in The Star in the East (1891). Hornel’s work was already showing a Japanese influence when in February 1893 he set off for Japan with George Henry, financially supported by Galleries owner Alexander Reid and philanthropist William Burrell.
In a Japanese Garden
[cut]
Hornel produced some of his finest oils during the 19 month-long visit, successfully balancing his feeling for decorative work with figurative drawing and composition. An exhibition of his Japanese works held in Glasgow was a success, but he nevertheless returned to Kirkcudbright to paint children in fancy dress, figures in flower-decked woods, autumnal forests and flowers, and girls by the sea. The 1890s saw Hornel at his most artistically successful, but after 1910 a certain reputation and lack of consistency crept in with a resultant lowering of standards.
Geishas in a Japanese Garden
Two Geisha Girls 1894
He visited Ceylon in 1907, and Burma in 1918 but this did not have the same inspirational effect as Japan. He was commercially successful and purchased a fine 18th century townhouse in Kirkcudbright before the First World War for £400 with the sale of just one painting. He bequeathed Broughton House and the contents of his studio to the town, and it is now the Hornel Museum managed by the National Trust, with a fascinating Japanese Garden. His work was much in demand and he died a wealthy man. In 1901 he was elected ARSA but declined the honour. He died in Kirkcudbright.

"The Brook" 1891
Hornel allied himself with the Glasgow Boys in the mid 1880s. A modern work for its time, The Brook’s bright colours and textured surface show an interest in decorative forms and fl at patterns, matching contemporary developments in France, as well as the tradition of Japanese art.The foreground girl picking fruit is redolent of images of Eve and the Tree of Knowledge while the most distant figure, bathed in light, sits in contemplative profile. The painting is thought to symbolize innocence and experience, as well as choice, as shown by the two middle-ground figures, each attracted to one of the allegorical figures, and in the process of deciding which one to follow. The picture's first owner was the designer, J. Herbert McNair (1868-1955).

The title of the chapter has particular resonance in the Soviet Union, where talking to strangers could get one into trouble with the secret police. Few foreigners visited, and those who did were required to register with the authorities, stay in special hotels, and they were watched very closely. See Foreigners.

Bessie MacNicol (4)
E.A. Hornel, Bessie MacNicol, 1896,
oil on canvas. painted in Hornel's studio.
Japanese kakemono in the background.
Visited Kirkcudbright in 1896 where she was influenced by Hornel as seen in the portrait, which she painted of him in his studio.
This portrait was exhibited at the Glasgow Institute, 1897.
"Bessie writing to Hornel about the portrait:
'I had David Gauld up seeing your portrait. He said he wished I had painted it in greys and purples. Also, wanted me to take out the palette & to paint the coat a grey black. Of course that is quite another story - at least Gauld's way of telling the story.'
[cut]
MacNicol's personality has been described as fun-loving, full of life and high spirits. In another letter to Hornel, she writes:
'John Keppie came up to see me the day after I returned from Kirkcudbright, & was inviting me to go for a cycle run with him. I have got a new kind of cycling skirt, which is divided, so far up, but is just like a walking skirt when I am standing. I put the Mater into fits when I was in the shop buying it, by dancing a hornpipe behind the woman's back. They are like wide Jack Tar 'bags'. I am getting on splendidly & am quite a scorcher. I have not gone more than 10 miles but can pass machines & people without running them down for certain.'
Though she died young, in less than 12 years Bessie exhibited in Scotland, London, Ghent, Munich, Dresden, Vienna, St Petersburg, Pittsburg, and St Louis. There's a self-portrait of Bessie MacNicol at Glasgow Museums and Galleries.
The most important woman artist in Glasgow at the turn of the last century, she was the eldest of twin girls born on 15th July 1869. She first attended the Glasgow School of Art at the age of 18 in 1887, and in 1896 acquired her own studio at 175 St Vincent Street. She married a gynaecologist turned painter and died on the 4th June 1904 at the age of 34. She was pregnant with her first child and her husband seems to have attended and signed the death certificate. He survived her by only a few years, marrying a young singer months before his own death. His wife remarried in November of the same year after selling the house and all Bessie and her husband's paintings. This may be one of the reasons why so little documentary evidence remains of Bessie's work and life. Apart from a few letters and photographs, there are no sketchbooks and no diaries. Her early death was considered a great loss to Scottish art, but typically for a woman artist she was almost forgotten decades later.
Information on Bessie from article by Ailsa Tanner in Glasgow Girls, edited by Jude Burkhauser." (c)

She married a gynaecologist turned painter and died on the 4th June 1904 at the age of 34. She was pregnant with her first child and her husband seems to have attended and signed the death certificate. He survived her by only a few years, marrying a young singer months before his own death. His wife remarried in November of the same year after selling the house and all Bessie and her husband's paintings. This may be one of the reasons why so little documentary evidence remains of Bessie's work and life. Apart from a few letters and photographs, there are no sketchbooks and no diaries. Her early death was considered a great loss to Scottish art, but typically for a woman artist she was almost forgotten decades later.
Information on Bessie from article by Ailsa Tanner in Glasgow Girls, edited by Jude Burkhauser." (c)

Scottish-1869-1904
Bessie MacNicol was probably the most important woman painter in Glasgow at the beginning of the 20th century. Having studied art in Glasgow and Paris, she established a studio in St Vincent Street where she worked until her marriage in 1899. After the wedding she moved to Hillhead to live with her husband and worked from a studio at the back of her house. She died in 1904 while pregnant with her first child.

Santiago Rusiñol -продолжение
 |
"Between 1889 and 1899, Santiago Rusiñol carried out, in the flesh, the artist’s challenge of making artistic creation a channel to explore boundaries. Added to this exploration was the addiction to morphine that would determine the artist’s life and work as of 1894, the year coinciding with the creation of two of Rusiñol’s most emblematic painting, La morfina and La medalla, and the discovery of one of the quintessential themes in both Rusiñol’s painting and literature: the abandoned garden. The treatment the artist underwent to cure himself of his morphine addiction starting in 1899 and the operation performed on him which, one year later, left him with just one kidney, prevented the artist from succumbing to the abyss and caused him to enter a new creative phase, marked by his dedication to theater with an increasingly greater commercial vision and his specialization in painting gardens all over Catalonia and Spain (Mallorca, Ibiza, Valencia, Gerona, Aranjuez, Cuenca, Arbecies), with brief but significant forays in Italy."

Gammell AND HIS STUDENTS
"Gammell was a teacher who challenged his students not only at the easel, but in their habits of thinking as well. "'So who are your favorite artists?'," Hunter recalls him saying. "Then you'd have to think, and answer, and then he'd say 'Why?' He was provoking and challenging, and interested in who you were."(с)
